Community Surveys

The council conducts surveys to:

  • identify community needs, desires and concerns

  • get feedback on our services, projects and proposals

  • measure 'before and after' outcomes

  • profile the social and demographic changes in our district

Examples include:

  • 2003 Business Survey [PDF 130 kb]

  • 2004 Community Safety Survey [PDF 55 kb]

  • 2005 Residents Survey [PDF 85 kb]

  • 2006 LTCCP Outcomes Survey [PDF 510 kb]

  • 2007 Residents Survey [PDF 520 kb]

  • Residents and community surveys

    Our residents and community surveys are conducted by telephone with large samples (typically more than 1,000) and high response rates (typically in the 70-80% range).

    Our 2007 Residents Survey was conducted in September-October 2007.

    Frequently Asked Questions.

    Other surveys

    Most of our other surveys are conducted through self report forms, either delivered through the post or made available on online. Typically, the response rates to these are less than 30% and sometimes as low as 1%. For this reason, they should be seen more as consultation exercises rather than statistically accurate representations of residents' views.

    Community Outcomes Questionnaires

    The LTCCP Outcomes Questionnaires are self report forms that go to all ratepayers in a given area, rather than to a random sample. Typically, responses are from those who feel strongest about particular issues, rather than the general 'silent majority'.

    The purpose of these questionnaires is to give residents an opportunity to say which community outcomes they want included in our Long-term Council Community Plan (LTCCP). These self-report postal surveys have been conducted in the following areas:

    1. Darfield [PDF 650 Kb]

    2. Kirwee-Courtenay-Kimberley

    3. Lake Coleridge [PDF 720 Kb]

    4. Lakeside-Sedgemere-Southbridge

    5. Leeston-Doyleston

    6. Greenpark-Motukarara

    7. Springston-Springston South

    8. West Melton

    For more information on surveys in general please contact our Policy and Communication Adviser, Rowan Taylor on 347 2800 or 318 8338.
